He couldn't help but drink a few more sips. He naively ate too many good things. He didn't dare to drink too much for fear that it would be gone all at once. He wanted to drink slowly, savoring it bit by bit.
Su Li looked closely at Li Dan's dark and thin face, his messy hair, his patched thin clothes, his dirty little paws, and his shoes that were covered in mud and were a little big, and it was obvious that they didn't fit his feet.
Li Dan is like a microcosm of millions of children in this era. Su Li cannot take care of millions of children, but she can take care of the one in front of her, so she will take care of him.
When the children were almost done eating, Su Li went to the kitchen and poured a glass of spiritual spring water for Li Dan. "Li Dan, drink this water to relieve your greasiness."
Li Dan was puzzled for a moment. How could he get tired of it? The pear soup was so delicious that he would not get tired of it no matter how many bowls he drank. But he did not say anything. He poured it for Su Li and drank it. At that moment, the coldness in his body subsided a lot, as if his little body was full of strength.
Xie Laifu looked at Su Li and thought that the water she gave Li Dan must be good stuff. "Pour me a glass, I want to drink it too."
Su Li glared at him and said, "No, if you want to drink, go home and drink it yourself."
Xie Laifu's face flushed with anger, "If you don't pour it for me, I'll tell my mom and ask her to come find you?"
"Let her come, and see what she dares to do."
Hu Zi jumped up when he saw Su Li was so angry, "Xie Lai Fu, go away. I didn't ask you to come to our house, but you insisted on coming here and even asked my mom to pour you some water. Why are you so annoying?"
Shitou was not to be outdone and came out on top, "That's right, you are so ugly, but you still want my pretty mother to pour water for you. You want to be so beautiful."
Baoya: "I want to be beautiful."
Xie Lai Fu was bullied and had nothing to say, "Ah~ I'm going to go home and tell my mom, you bullied me, wuwu~ you bully people." Then he ran out.
Xiangzhi, Xianglan was a little at a loss for a moment, "Aunt."
Su Li comforted the children, "Don't be afraid, your mother can't beat me in an argument. Eat some egg cakes. I bought this in the county town. It's very expensive. Eat more."
Then he dragged Li Dan into the inner room. Li Dan didn't understand what was going on and was very nervous.
"Don't be afraid, kid. Auntie's kid Tiedan is about your age. You can wear his clothes. He has two sets of cotton-padded clothes that are just right for you, and a pair of cotton-padded shoes."
Li Dan's eyes turned red after hearing what Su Li said, "No need, auntie, even if you give it to me, I can't wear it. When I go home, my parents won't let me wear it. They will give it to my older brothers at my dad's house."
Su Li thought about it and took out a set of warm cotton shirts. "Child, put this on. You will be warmer if you wear it underneath your clothes. When you are hungry in the future, come to my house for dinner. I always have hot meals for you."
Li Dan couldn't stop crying any longer, raised her little face and said to Su Li with a smile: "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome. You and Tiedan and Huzi are good friends, right? If you call me aunt, then I'm no different from your son. Just tell me what you want to eat in the future."
"Um!"
Su Li helped Li Dan change his clothes. He was still wearing a patched jacket on the outside, and the warm shirt underneath could not be seen from the outside.
Li Dan didn't dare to take the cotton shoes, so he had no choice but to have Su Li and him wear a pair of thick cotton socks.
Did Su Lisheng feel bad? No, she just couldn't bear to see a child who secretly licked candy wrappers have such a hard life.
If it was Xie Laifu, Su Li would probably just say, "Please go away?"
Two flowers bloom, each representing one branch.
Xie Zhengchuan's leg is basically fine. The company commander packed up his things in the dormitory last time and sent them back home. However, since he completed the mission at the risk of his life, the team would not recover the pension, bonus and subsidy given to him.
However, the above expenses will basically be deducted from his retirement pay, and Xie Zhengchuan said he would obey his superiors' arrangements.
He wrote and organized a small notebook, which was full of account books of various tickets and money collected by Captain Chen from other people. He knew that he had to accept the money now, otherwise Captain Chen would definitely be furious again.
He made this account book so that he could slowly send money back to his hometown when he returned.
There was nothing much to pack in the team, so he just carried a handbag containing some things given by his teammates as he walked out of the hospital gate.
A jeep was waiting for him at the door, in front of the car were his Thunder Commando members and his company commander. He walked over, stood at attention, and saluted them. The Thunder Commando members also saluted him. They didn't know when they would see each other again after not seeing each other for a day.
Xie Zhengchuan straightened the military cap of each of them, patted them on the shoulder, then turned around and got into the jeep.
Xie Zhengchuan covered his face and leaned his head against the car window.
Suddenly, the car braked suddenly, and inertia made Xie Zhengchuan rush forward. When he rebounded, he saw Shi Xiaomeng at the front of the car, staring at the car with his hands open and red eyes. Captain Chen and the members of the Thunder Commando saw that it was Shi Xiaomeng who came back, and their hearts tightened.
"Isn't he coming back in a few days? Who told him?"
Several team members quickly ran over to pull Shi Xiaomeng. Xie Zhengchuan sat in the car with his body a little stiff. He now understood Captain Chen's mood.
Shi Xiaomeng looked at his captain still sitting in the car and roared, "Why did you lie to me?"
"You said you wouldn't leave, why did you lie to me? Ah~"
The other team members pulled Shi Xiaomeng and twisted the front of the jeep, "Xiao Meng, be obedient. The captain is just following his orders. You should be happy for the captain."
"It's Xiao Meng. You, get out of the way. The captain will miss the train soon."
"Let go, Xiao Meng. You might get hurt. Why bother?"
Captain Chen was sad and heartbroken. "What are you listening to? Look at how ugly he is. Does he look like a soldier? He is totally disorganized and undisciplined. Is there any soldier in your team like you?"
When the team members heard what Captain Chen said, they were afraid that Shi Xiaomeng would be punished, so they worked together.
“Pull!”
“Ah~”
Shi Xiaomeng pushed the front of the car hard, as if as long as the car didn't move, his captain would not leave.
A group of people were pushing and shoving, and the Thunder Commandos didn't dare to use too much force as it was very easy to get hurt.
Xie Zhengchuan had no choice but to wipe his face and get out of the car, "Shi Xiaomeng, do you look like a soldier?"
Shi Xiaomeng looked at him with red eyes and said, "Go away, you liar." There was grievance in his voice.
"Yes! I am leaving. At the beginning, you ran over two hills to find a recruiting place. Your shoes were rotten, and your blisters were bleeding. Your physical condition was poor, so you didn't pass. Several captains insisted on not wanting you. I recruited you into the army, and you chose this kind of job. You were not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and you followed me all the way for days."
"You've seen many people who should leave and stay. This time it's my turn. It's my turn to leave, and I have to leave. You went from being a soldier who couldn't even stand at attention to being the best soldier in the company. You were able to join the Thunder Commando because we worked so hard together. But you rely too much on me, Shi Xiaomeng. Only if I leave can you become stronger."
Shi Xiaomeng couldn't hold back his tears any longer, "You lied to me, you always treated me like a child, you were the best soldier in the team, but you wanted to leave, I don't want to be alone, my father died, my mother ran away, no one took care of me, it was not easy for you to lead me in the army, making me feel that my life was meaningful. Now you want to leave too. Woo~"
Xie Zhengchuan stretched out his hand and pinched the back of Shi Xiaomeng's neck. "Xiao Meng, you will become the best soldier in the future. I will wait for the day when you will complete the journey that I have not completed. In the future, it will not be me who leads you, but you who will replace me. Don't be afraid, I will be your backup in the future."
Shi Xiaomeng held Xie Zhengchuan's hand, "Captain, don't go... Don't go, Captain..."
The Thunder Commando members and Captain Chen's faces were covered with tears. They had never wanted this to happen, but Xie Zhengchuan had his pride.
"From now on, my home is your home. You can come to see me anytime during your vacation. You are an excellent fighter, Shi Xiaomeng. It's time for you to grow up."
After Xie Zhengchuan finished speaking, he turned around and got into the car. Seeing this, the members of the Thunder Commando immediately grabbed Shi Xiaomeng.
"Captain~"
"Captain, don't go... Captain..."
Shi Xiaomeng cried until he was hoarse, but the jeep kept going further and further away.
